First Frame Of Raised Bed 16a

According to the weather forecast earlier this week it was supposed to be heavy rain all day. Weather was 11C overcast, no wind chill factor, however there was no rain this morning and the sun popped its head out, and thus until it started to light rain/ drizzle about 12:30 I spent a few hours working on assembling the base level frame for bed 16a. De-banding and drilling pilot holes in the old 0.9m (3ft) scaffold boards. Photo above is before Wally helped me, on his way home from the allotment by lifting the frame so I could level the soil it was bearing on.

Scaffold boards for the second level of Raised Bed 16a stacked on the first level. I really should have covered the bed to let it dry out so that I can get in there and decant the humus into 30L pots with handles. I didn't think about that until I was just leaving the car park and it was raining, so that's the first job to do next visit. 

Three of the old 0.9m (3ft) scaffold boards that need the banding removed from one end. They are stacked on bed 15 at the moment.
